As CRISPR moves from lab success to real-world medicine, 2026 will test whether these revolutionary gene-editing therapies ...

Precision gene editing can be achieved by base editing, nucleotide editing, or editing of small or large gene fragments. The specific mechanisms include various DNA repair pathways. Many precision ...

Gene therapy represents one of medicine’s most ambitious attempts to treat disease at its root cause by altering the genetic code itself. The approach works by recovering the functions of critical ...

A new gene-editing technique enables the correction of multiple genetic mutations simultaneously, transforming the prospects for millions living with complex inherited diseases, such as cystic ...

Urnov is a professor of molecular therapeutics at the University of California, Berkeley, and a director at its Innovative Genomics Institute. In May, news broke of a biomedical first: the on-demand ...

Illustration showing how autophagy induction increases the efficiency of precise gene editing. In normal cells, DNA breaks caused by CRISPR–Cas9 are frequently repaired through non-homologous end ...

Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a revolutionary gene-editing method using bacterial retrons that can correct multiple disease-causing mutations at once. Unlike ...

A single infusion of an experimental gene-editing drug appears safe and effective for cutting cholesterol, possibly for life, according to a small early study released Saturday. The study, which ...

Gene-editing techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 have many uses in the area of food and agriculture. They can combat persistent drought and disease, and improve the colour and nutritional content of food ...

On Tuesday, the team behind the plan to bring mammoth-like animals back to the tundra announced the creation of what it is calling wooly mice, which have long fur reminiscent of the woolly mammoth.

The EPA is the authority charged with regulating biosafety and genome editing. Its tasks include granting permits, conducting risk assessments, and overseeing compliance. On the other hand, the Bio ...
